What I can tell you is that I have stocks from this period that definitely are made of Circassian walnut, not black walnut. Whether this was universal, I doubt. I have a Model of 1905 Target (square butt) that shipped in April, 1908, and the correctly numbered stocks on it appear to be black walnut, not Circassian walnut.
